Attorney General Anderson Wednesday
received the following unique letter from a
deputy sheriff in a State bordering on
Georgia. The letter is dated Aug. &C. 1887,
and is addressed TO the Estate Attorney,
Atlanta, Ga" 1t recites the following in
formation: 'If you have the Recorde at
Hand Please Let me know if your State
wants a man ansering the following
Description: Hight o #, weight $50 or 1870,
age 30 or 30, compleckshun dark; eyes
Brown, Hair Brown. He has wife in
your State. Said he helped to kill a man

is supposed that this accurate and definite
description, not to speak of the small mat

General to at once locate the party.
Tuesday was the day set for the hearing
at Americas of argument of counsel in the
Blacklnan murder case for a new trial for
the condemned assassin. The only question
of moment in the mind of Judge Fort was
the plea that one of the jurors before whom
the case was last tried was disqualified
from serving, it being claimed by
counsel for the defense that he
had previously expressed an opin-
ion." Judge Fort reserved his decision
in the matter until the charge Of counsel
can be thoroughly looked into, and it will
probably be three or four days before his
decision is made known. 1t is not thought
that the evidence Is sufficient to warrant a
fourth trial in this case, and many believe
that one will be refused, in which event it
will again be taken to the Supreme Court.
On the road from Homer to Harmony
Grove is negro church known as Flat
Creek For some days and nights past a
revival has been in progress, and hun
dreds of negroes are assembled from all
parts of the country. During the services
on last Sunday night George Sanders, a
white man, had loaded himself up with
whisky and opened up to preach sermon
of his own, greatly to the disturbance of
the colored congregation. Sanders father
in-law, a Mr.. Sailors, was present, and sue
ceeded in getting him to leave the ground
and 60 up to his house. When the party
reached Sailors house Mr.. Sailors was re-
monstrating with his son-in-law in regard
to disturbing public worship, when Sanders
assaulted him and inflicted several severe
stabs, one of which may prove fatal. San
ders was arrested.
The managers of the Piedmont Exposition
have invited a number of the cities of Geor-
gia to send companies to Atlanta to Join the
great Young Mems Democratic League, who
are to be the special escort of President
Cleveland on the occasion of his visit to At
lanta on Oct. 10, during the exposition. One
of the features of the torchlight procession
will be two companies of original wool hat
Democrats, organized by Clark Howell.
They will be dressed in copperas
breeches, yellow boots, hickory shirts and one
''gallus," with rosettes of corn shuck, and
coon tail plumes for their SLOUGH hats. They
utterly refuse to handle the new
tangled torches. but each one will swing a
hghtwood knot from the butt end Of pine.
They will march in two companies, and it
will be known as the battalion of original
Democrats They have secured hall and
will drill until they have perfected them
selves in their evolutions. This battalion
will be one of the greatest features of the
parade.
